Type: Performance Issue

It helps visualising long and nested structures, if you don't like it you can disable it in settings.json:

"editor.stickyScroll.enabled": false

[gjsjohnmurray]

Did you see the release notes?

https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_87#_editor-sticky-scroll

[ErkanSensei]

Even disabled I'm seeing a weird black line across the top. I'm on an M1 Mac Ventura 13.5

[nervenes]

can you share a screenshot?

[Mubatapasango]

Thanks, i noticed how i can remove it.

Hi thanks for posting this issue. @evrsen shared the setting to disable the feature. This issue will be closed.

@ErkanSensei could you please include a screenshot of what you are seeing?

[ErkanSensei]

Sorry for the late reply. @aiday-mar @evrsen I believe it's the shadow on the tab bar acting up. It seems to sometimes break up and doesn't look like a shadow but just a flat black line. I can't reproduce at the moment as it's intermittent, but this is the closest I could get

[aiday-mar]

Ah. I see this shadow also when sticky scroll is disabled?

[ErkanSensei]

Yes it is disabled for me and that is what's showing up

[nervenes]

is that not normal?

[aiday-mar]

As @evrsen mentioned this is expected.

[ErkanSensei]

Yes I know the bar is, it just looked a bit like a broken CRT? (Not sure how best to explain what it looked like). If it happens again I will update here with reproducible steps
